The Cell production plant Sony sells off to Toshiba... not in the millions...

[What'sHD]

joeorc, as of last qtr, Sony had sold 4.28M to retailers (their financials). Typically, the sales to consumers are a bit less than sales to retail.

The 6M no. quoted was warehouse shipments (marketing message, thus the biggest possible no. was chosen I guess).

Btw, vgchartz is fairly accurate with their estimates. Example: http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=5078

So, if sales now are ~ 4.6M, sales to retail would be ~5.5M
